Rex says Powell is a GO with a broken toe? U would think a RB would need the toes to be close to 100%. Whatever.

GO JETS!

I think that's why he said McElroy MIGHT be active. If I recall, Mc was going to be active against the Jags until Joe got migraines. Now with Powell injuring his toe, it might be another inactive week for Mc.

Thats leaves the team pretty slim at RB though? Bell was just cut, and if Powell is not active, wouldnt that leave just Greene and Mcknight?

Would it be so far fetched to line up Tebow for some snaps running the ball? Maybe not with those riblets.

Indeed. Which is what leads me to think Bilal's injury isn't that serious.

And yes, it would be far-fetched to line Tebow up at RB. Scrambling when the game breaks down to a school-yard level of ball and running designed runs are two completely different things.

If Bilal can't go, I'm assuming they'd give Hilliard some carries.

Regardless of whether TEbow sucks, Rex should have came out and said the wildcat WOULD be enacted this week due to depth at the RB.....instead he said that Tebow would "not be running the wildcat this week". Why show your hand so early?

I think that is a really bad move. WHy not give the illusion of variety on the offensive side of the ball.

Lack of run game is gonna hurt the Sanchinator.

Has nothing to do with whether he sucks or not. Calvin Johnson isn't a RB and that doesn't mean he sucks, lol. It's just not Tim's position is what I'm saying.

And it makes sense to not use the Tebowcat package because, well, it doesn't work. I'd rather have Hilliard, an actual back, get carries here and there than use the uncreative Tebowcat for .5 ypc.

Remember when we signed Tebow? Tons of folks, our coaches included, were claiming he'd easily step into the role of RB, TE, H-Back, etc... As if a guy who has played QB his entire life can just effortlessly step into these roles in the NFL and succeed. Laughable.

our coaches know that as well as anyone.

they were just trying to justify our idiot owner's idiotic forced trade.

Exactly. People need to understand that there's more to being a running back than simply running. It's more complicated than that.
